      To find buggy code in others scripts I start off with Baregrep looking for the particular method or reference by name...
      That then lets me open the potentially problematical .rb directly at the line indicated and I can read the code and hopefully see what needs adjustemnt...
      I even do it with my own stuff, as it's often awkward to work out what's defined/changed where - especially months after you wrote it... 🤓

          Fredo's plug in looks exactly what I need. Does it work with SU 8? Having installed it as described (I'm OSX 10.5.8) I still get an error. I've read every post over the 19 pages and can't find any clues. My directory is not quite as shown as I have:
          Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Google SketchUp 8/SketchUp/Plugins

          All the files are there as described. Is it simply that it won't work with SU8 or am I doing something wrong?

          Thanks in advance to anyone can help.

            Kelly, what are you trying to install? (LibFreo will not do anything - it is just a "background" library for a bunch of Fredo's "real" tools)

              Sorry Gaieus, realised I hadn't said what I was doing as I hit 'submit'.....

              I want to use FredoScale. I have installed as per instructions, and have also installed RoundCorner. Enclosed is a picture of my plugins.

                You have a file __loader.rb in the Sketchup Plugin directory.
                I don't know how you manage to have it there, but try to remove it and check if it works

                Fredo

                PS: for RoundCorner, you did not do the correct installation too. Please read the main thread and check the footprint. It seems that your unzip method does not create the proper folder and files. I would suggest that you unzip in a neutral place, then check the files and folders and then copy to the Sketchup directory.

                  Fredo, thank you very much. I also downloaded FredoScale to my Mac at home last night where I only use the inbuilt OSX extraction software and it worked fine. Seems the problems were with the Zipeg extraction software. Having just thrown that software away and downloaded your plug-ins again, everything works fine.

                  Cheers folks.

                          Do you know why you installed LibFredo6 in your Plugins directory? Or are you just installing all the plugins you can find?

                          This is a support file for many of Fredo's excellent plugins. It is required by them to operate correctly.

                            At least, do you see the menu Windows > LibFredo6 Settings....?
                            If so, you just have to install the plugin (like FredoScale, RoundCorner, ...) and it should be OK.

                                NEW RELEASE: LibFredo6 v4.0a - 23 Aug 11

                                LibFredo6 4.0 is a major technical release. The intention is to simplify the installation of my plugins and make their loading more robust, with error detection and protection.

                                A main feature of LibFred06 4.0 is that the ZLoader__xxx.rb files are no longer used(it will work however even if you still have them in your plugin folder, but it is advised to delete them). This means that my plugin will now be published as a simple folder (like ROUNDCORNER_Dir_22) to be put in the same directory as LibFredo6. The plugins will only be loaded if you have LibFredo6 installed and load errors will be tracked and reported.
                                RoundCorner footprint.jpg

                                LibFredo6 4.0 also includes a few plugin maintenance utilities available in the Windows > LibFredo6 Settings... menu:
                                Menu LibFredo6.jpg

                                1) Purge Obsolete files
                                This utility shows the files which are no longer useful and that you can safely delete. Indeed, you will see there all the ZLoader__xxx.rb files which are now ignored.

                                2) Plugin load performances
                                It displays the time for loading the plugins based on LibFredo6. I am interested in getting a feedback on these load times as it seems to be different on different machines and systems.

                                3) Trace Log viewers
                                LibFredo6 4.0 stores some traces (in a temporary folder). Currently this is mainly related to the load cycle of the scripts. If an error has happened it will be recorded there. Note that there is n Export feature (as a TXT file) which might be useful for reporting problems to the author if needed.
                                LibFredo6 Trace Log.jpg

                                4) Plugin directory location
                                Just to recall that LibFredo6 (and all my scripts) can be located in another directory than the standard SU one.
                                In this respect, it might be useful to install 000_AdditionalPluginFolders.rb script. This will allow you to specify additional plugin directories and put LibFredo6 there.

                                I recommend to install LibFredo6 v4.0 as it will be more robust and easier (for me) to support.

                                See Main Post for detailed documentation and download.

                                Fredo

                                  Great release! 😍

                                  However, there seems to be a small issue... It seems that if you won't manually delete an old ZLoader, the new menu won't appear (and perhaps the library won't be loaded properly?). The problem is that I don't remember how exactly that ZLoader file was called, something like ZLoader__LibFredo.rb, but I'm not sure at all, - just deleted it and there is now no way to know the exact name, unfortunately. 😕 And it's not there in LibFredo 3.7b archive I found around, so perhaps it's some ancient file from a very old release. Anyway, after I've deleted it, everything loaded properly, and is now working well. 😄

                                    There are a lot of links ABOUT '[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v4.0a - 23 Aug 11'. I've spent quite some time unsuccessfully looking for the link to actually download '[Plugin Library] LibFredo6 - v4.0a - 23 Aug 11'. Would someone please provide that? It would be helpful to others to also provide that as part of this subject.

                                    Thanks

                                          that's odd. I've never had any trouble downloading any files from here with Chrome. You might want to check your settings in Chrome.
